dom1976's review against another edition

As a fan of the tv show and not a big comics reader, I truly enjoyed this one. Woman Woman in Gotham city was a great idea! Inventive, action-packed. Artwork, beautifully done. Great comic collection for the fan or new to comic readers.

This anthology of short Wonder Woman comics by different authors varied in quality of art and writing quite a bit. However, as someone who has never read Wonder Woman before, it was a helpful intro to who she is, her back story, her weapons, her style of justice.

It was... okay. Solid 2 stars, in a good way. "Brace Yourself" was good- it presented Diana as a girl, and her relationship with her mother. That... may have been the only one that really did much for me, but I can't really decipher the post-it note I wrote to remember this one.

Some pretty cool short stories about WW. Some were silly but I still enjoyed them. Mostly really liked seeing the variations of art between the stories

There are a few super great, 5 star, beautifully illustrated, giant feminist stories in here, a clunker or two, and a handful of average. But, oh my god, 21st century 4th wave feminist Wonder Woman aimed at pre-teen girls, YES MORE OF YOU PLEASE.

I really enjoyed this! The vignette form--a bunch of small standalone stories, not a lengthy arc--was really interesting, and it gave me a good idea of who Diana is as a character, especially since I haven't actually read any of her comics before.

I've been craving more Wonder Woman lately, because of Dawn of Justice, and this book was exactly the right one to pick up. It's a collection of one-shot adventures, each with a different team attached to it. There are stories from all over Wonder Woman's storyline, so it provides a really good look at who she is as a character.
My favourites in the collection are the first story about Wonder Woman taking on the villains of Gotham, written by the wonderful Gail Simone (it was because of this story that I discovered this collection in the first place). I also loved Jason Bischoff's story about how Diana earned her vanbraces, and Ollie Masters' story was hilarious (and perfectly matched by Amy Mebberson's art), plus had the bonus of featuring Catwoman, who is one of my favourite DC characters. Also, kudos to Maguerite Sauvage for her art in Bullets and Braceletts - I'm not quite sure why Diana is a rock star in this story but I love her character design so much, it made me want to cosplay it.
This is a great introduction to Diana and aspects of her mythology and a must read for any Wonder Woman fans out there.

This had some comics that I really enjoyed and some that I didn't enjoy so much. Even though I didn't love every story in this collection, I loved the concept of having a book based around one character with many different one-shots and I would love to see this done for more (female) characters at DC and Marvel.
